the BootSequence option in the BootSequence category.
BootListOption — determines the boot mode of the system. Select one of the following:
• UEFI — To enable booting to Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) capable operating systems.
• Legacy (the default) — To ensure compatibility with OSes that do not support UEFI.
NOTE: Legacy boot mode is not allowed when secure boot is enabled or legacy option ROM is
disabled.
BootSequence — Specifies the order in which a system searches for devices when trying to find an
operating system to boot. The Boot Sequence option allows users to customize the boot order and boot
ability of boot devices. The UEFI BIOS allows the selection of UEFI boot paths or Legacy boot devices.

device number. Then, provide the sequence to change the boot order. Example:
